Carting timber, Victoria, Australia, 1928 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to the year 1928 in Victoria, Australia. The image showcases a scene from the country's rich forestry history as two mighty oxen pull a cart loaded with timber through a picturesque landscape. The print is actually a collectible cigarette card produced by the Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd during their second series. It serves as a reminder of how these small pieces of art were once cherished and collected by enthusiasts. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the hard work and determination of those who labored in the Australian timber industry. The immense strength of the oxen is evident as they navigate through rough terrain to transport valuable wood resources. The photo offers an insight into early 20th-century transportation methods, highlighting how vital animals like oxen were for moving heavy loads across long distances before modern machinery took over. It also reminds us of our connection to nature and how humans have relied on forests for centuries. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece captured by an unknown creator, let us appreciate its historical significance and reflect upon our own relationship with both land and labor throughout time.
